Before Lille shifted the dynamics of the game to their advantage, Georges Mikautadze once again proved he's a player to watch.

He scored his eleventh goal in seventeen Ligue 1 matches with a well-placed penalty shot, further solidifying his reputation. However, his scoring is just one aspect of his overall impact.

Mikautadze, who has also contributed three assists this season, now boasts a better performance average than the previous year. During that season, he was instrumental in leading Metz through a successful Ligue 2 campaign, culminating in promotion, which eventually landed him a move to Ajax. Despite his struggles in Amsterdam, which earned him the unfortunate label of a flop, Mikautadze has rebounded impressively back at Metz.

At just 23, this Georgian forward has been pivotal, shouldering the team's offensive efforts. Remarkably, he has been involved in the last six goals for the club either scoring or assisting. His recent form, particularly in the last two league games, has been crucial, earning Metz six vital points to aid their fight against relegation.

Mikautadze's scoring spree isn't just notable in France but across Europe. Since March, in the continent's top five leagues, only Cole Palmer of Chelsea and Alexander Isak of Newcastle United have netted more goals than him. Mikautadze's exceptional form is likely attracting attention far beyond Metz and his parent club Ajax. Other European clubs are surely taking note of his abilities, potentially eyeing a transfer for a player who has demonstrated resilience and a sharp goal-scoring instinct. This blend of talent and tenacity makes Mikautadze a valuable asset in the competitive landscape of European football.
